Host.net Offers Business Continuity Services for Hurricane Season & More, Including

BOCA RATON, Fla., July 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Florida-based network infrastructure services provider Host.net offers a full suite of business continuity services for hurricane season and other business interruption scenarios, ensuring prompt disaster recovery as well as furnishing physical contingency workspace if a customer's own premises cannot be used.

In addition, clients can leverage Host.net's physical contingency workspace and associated services, including VoIP and Internet access, in the event that their current office space becomes inaccessible due to burst pipes, power outages or longer-term disruptions such as fires, floods or other catastrophic events.

One of many companies that have turned to Host.net for business continuity planning is Pompano Beach-based MTI, a provider of nationwide ancillary services in the workers' compensation industry including transportation, translations, air ambulance, home health care, durable medical equipment, diagnostics, and home and vehicle modifications.

MTI copies all mission-critical data to Host.net's Boca Raton colocation facility on an hourly basis, has fully provisioned workstations reserved at the office space at the same Host.net location for emergency use, and can also connect from MTI laptops to its servers at Host.net via VPN if needed. MTI has already used the contingency workspace during a phone system outage, transferring all calls to the colocation facility and connecting back to its servers in Pompano Beach.

"We're a nationwide company, with a comprehensive business continuity plan and Host.net is an integral part of the plan. This enables MTI to provide seamless uninterrupted service to all of our customers 24x7x365," said Seth Hirsh, Director of Information Technology for MTI.
